LGBTIQ+ Catholics

Acceptance Melbourne is committed to supporting LGBTIQ+ Catholics across Victoria, providing a safe and spiritually nurturing space to practice their faith since 1974.

Welcome To Acceptance Melbourne

We are an affirming, non-profit organisation in Melbourne, Australia that supports Catholics who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, Questioning and all of their allies.

Acceptance Melbourne empowers one another through fellowship and understanding, believing in God’s love for all. We provide a safe and sacred place for spiritual growth.

Read more about Our Vision and Mission and Our History.

Mass

We provide a safe and sacred space for LGBTIQ+ people to celebrate Mass on the second Friday of every month from 8PM at:

St. Joseph's Catholic Church
30 Fitzgerald Street,
South Yarra, VIC 3141

You do not have to be Catholic to attend. Allies are welcome.

Support the Petition to Count Every LGBTIQ+ Australian in the Census

LGBTIQ+ Australians deserve to be fully counted in the census. The current questions exclude our gender-diverse community, limiting Australia's ability to make informed decisions on healthcare, funding, and other crucial services.

Sign the petition to ensure everyone is seen and represented!
